Tag Archives: Strawtails

Tuesday nights are not only Two for one at Pizza Express but for me Tuesdays & Thursdays are fish nights.

Decided to pitch up to a lazy mark that has really been hit or miss these days, We always seem to hit loads of small Pollock and just miss out on the Scad. I really need to search out a new spot. ( A sentence I use on a regular basis)

Straight in on Pollock using a Nories Slow retrieve 710F paired up with a Shimano Stella 2500 fe loaded up with Sunline small game fluro 2.5lb. I recently bought some tict Bullhead jig heads and wanted to give them a try.

These jig heads have a groove cut out at the front to send more vibrations and tiny bubbles, I really liked the fishing 2g & 1.5 g jig heads. Ecogear Aqua strawtails in Chartreuse then changing through the colour range. I found the fish seemed to wise up to the lures whizzing about them. On each change a few fish would get caught before the bites dried up.

It wasn’t only the LRF pollock that had a fight in them, a small LRF sized random yokel turned up & squared up for a fight with one of the usual Light brigade. If the fishing wasn’t to finicky he might have got his way but hay…..we’re fishers not fighters.

Two of the regular light lure boys had downed tools in favour of bread??? Chasing the Mullet……..That is a fish sent to this planet to wind us good folk up.

Another funny night packed with fish in the shape of a Large ish scad, a decent Poor Cod an a huge arm full of pollock, not to mention the happy chatty ole fellow, a time bandit spoiling for a fight and the frustrations of the bread boys.
